'I'm missing my Christmas bonus because of this'
Lizzie Massey
BBC Live reporter
Ellis Hart was on his way to a work Christmas meal, but missed it when he got stuck in the M23 backlog following severe flooding.
The stone restorer was stuck near to Pease Potage for more than two hours, after the motorway flooded.
Mr Hart, 26, said: "We were all going for a curry in London, paid for by the boss. It was our Christmas bonus.
"I was looking forward to that, but I've missed it now.
"I was meant to get the train, but saw the 10:04 was cancelled so jumped in the car to drive.
"I didn't check the traffic online, but there were no police, or signs anywhere to say the road was closed, or diverting people.
"I'm just glad I didn't bring my three kids with me. I was going to drop them off with my mum on the way."
Six hours ago Sussex Roads Police tweeted: "We are trying our best to get you turned around, but please be patient: with the road closure on, there's a lot of traffic to move into a very small space at Pease Pottage."
No opening time for flooded M23
Highways England say there is no estimated opened time for reopening the M23, which is flooded across both carriageways between junctions 10 and 11.
However, the stream of water onto the road has been stemmed and they are "making progress", a spokesperson said.
